Recently, when I tried to purchase a Galaxy device, I encountered a surprise that I can only describe as unpleasant: the enormous number of variants for the same Galaxy model. I mean, I want to look for, say, the Galaxy A36 or the A56, and I have to pray that the model I get is the one I want and not a European, Indian, or American version.
The question is, Why? Why does Samsung have so many OS divisions for the same model? This is a persistent problem because one might want the Snapdragon version of the A36, but you have to pray the model is that one and not the Exynos version. Although, that's not really the biggest problem; the worst part is when it comes to updating. It has happened to me that I have the same model as a colleague, but their Galaxy updates two weeks before mine. Seriously, why?
I sincerely hope that with One UI 9, Samsung unifies all these branches and leaves just one. It would be satisfying if at least all devices of the same model would update simultaneously. I understand that updating all models uniformly, like Pixel or iPhone, is very complicated, but I believe updating at least all devices of a single model equally is something possible.
The problem is that Samsung's distributors are usually not very clear on this topic and I suppose what causes the most confusion is the little information that tends to be available. I would prefer a single firmware version globally or at least reduce them to 2 or 3 maximum.
